Commissioner for Kangaroo Island

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:41): Can I ask a supplementary question of the minister? You can add that to the quiz list. Can the minister reveal if there are plans to end the role of the Commissioner for Kangaroo Island?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:42): There was an election commitment to review and end the position of Kangaroo Island commissioner. The Minister for Planning, Transport and Infrastructure is working through that process, and there will be a transition plan in place so that no-one on the island feels like they have been disadvantaged by that decision. So it's not something that is going to go bang and happen overnight. There will be a transition in place.

While I am on my feet, I would like to mention to people that I offered a prize for the people who won the quiz—

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: Point of order.

The PRESIDENT: Sit down, Leader of the Opposition. You are in defiance of me; sit down, the Hon. Mr Ridgway.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: I have a question; that was a supplementary.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: I know it's a supplementary. Out of the response?

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: Yes, that was out of the response.

The PRESIDENT: You asked a supplementary, did you?

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: Yes.

The PRESIDENT: Okay. The Hon. Mr Pangallo.
